Do not control your own healing.
There was a man who has trapped on the roof of his house while dangerous flood waters were rising up all around him.clinging to the chimney,he feared for his life.Never before had he felt such a desire to live.he called for help,'Dear God,i want to live.Please help!'Instantly God replied,'I will help you,my son.'
Shortly thereafter,a neighbour came by in a canoe:'hop in old boy,'cried the neighbour.' Thanks anyway,but God is on His way,'cried the man.
Time passed,and the flood waters still continued to rise.A complete stranger passed by in a motor boat and this good Samaritan offered a man a lift.'Thanks anyway,but God is on his way,'cried the man.
Soon the man was standing on top of his chimney,the waters still rising.out of nowhere,a helicopter arrived with rope.'Thanks anyway,but God is on his way,'cried the man.
The man eventually drowned.Before heaven he angrily confronted God,'Why didn't you help me?'he cried.I would have thought YOU of all people would have kept Your word?'
'Well,I tried,'said God,'I came in a canoe,a motor boat and a helicopter,but each time you turned me away.'
The man in the story is a symbol of the ego w/c always wants to be in control of everything,including it's own demise.The man asked for help,but he did not receive.Three offers of help were made,but three times the man gave up his chance for safety because he had already determined in his mind what his rescue should look like.
The willingness to accept healing requires you to give up all temptation to control what you think your healing
'must','ought',and 'should'look like.the bottom line is you cannot control your own healing.
What matter is your willingness( willingness is like electricity that makes all your household appliances work.)
After willingness,anything and everything can work,especially if you give up control of the process.
